I bought the Gen 3 for my boat this year and then I decided to try to rig it up for Ice Fishing.  I brought it out over the holiday's and I loved it.  The only problem is that it went through my battery in approximately 2 hrs.  I was hoping for some advice on how to extend the life of the battery through the settings.

how many Ah battery are you using? Are you sure your battery is good? The biggest draw current draw is the screen back lighting, try and run it as low as you can stand. I have a elite 7TI (pretty much a HDS gen2) that I run on the ice along with my friend has the same unit as you and were both seeing 6-8 hours on a 9Ah battery.
